Updated:5 years, 8 months ago

New Delhi, Feb 21 (ANI): According to new research, intensive behavioural therapy from dietitians may be a very effective way for older Americans to lose weight. Patients undergoing intensive behavioural therapy for obesity met with a registered dietitian once every week for the first month. The patients and the dietitians discussed behavioural health risks and factors affecting their choices. The dietitians recommended clear, specific, and personalized advice and the dietitians and the patients worked together to pick goals and methods to achieve them, and the two arranged to follow up meetings to discuss progress and challenges. The analysis showed statistically significant improvements in clinical outcomes from intensive behavioural therapy treatment. Patients also took prescription medication an average of six days less than the control group. This study suggested that the advantages of dietitian-provided intensive behavioural therapy extend beyond weight loss to include associated benefits for Medicare patients.
